Understanding the Effects of Cold on Construction Sites
Winter-specific issues can complicate construction projects in cold weather. The cold can cause problems in productivity and decrease safety for your workers. Your construction site must be adequately heated to maintain project efficiency. Concrete is affected by cold weather Concrete dries and a chemical reaction occurs that changes the structure's liquid state to solid. Concrete's temperature has a significant impact on how fast this transformation happens. Concrete must dry quickly to achieve a durable finish. Protect concrete from freezing temperatures, which can slow down drying. Concrete must be protected from freezing temperatures. Concrete can freeze before it dries, which can cause damage to its structure and make it less durable than possible. Concrete must be strong enough to withstand pressure since water expands when it freezes. Drywall Finishing in the Cold Spackle and joint compound can become brittle if it is exposed to temperatures below 60 degrees F. When it
